* AcceptableTargets: Studio executives and hotshot actors.
* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: A bus full of clowns pulls up outside the studio. The clowns have nothing to do with the plot, they don't appear in "Pucks!" and they're never brought up again.

** Pretty much anytime Sean and Beverly have to remind Matt that he's had sex with one of them.
** When Castor is prescribed some experimental medication, he starts masturbating to some very strange things e.g. A woman trapped under rubble, Merc shouting and a (fat, male) journalist drinking through a straw.
** Matt teaches his sons how to draw a naked woman in the missionary position. Vagina-end first.



* JerkassWoobie: Matt LeBlanc. He's boorish and insensitive, yet when you see him getting hounded by the tabloids or fighting a losing battle for custody over his sons, you really feel for him. Plus, despite everything he does genuinely value Sean's friendship.

* ItWasHisSled: [[spoiler: The only other cast member from ''Friends'' to appear on the series is James Michael Tyler (Gunther).]]

* MoralEventHorizon: When Matt [=LeBlanc=] finds out his ex-wife is getting serious with someone called Ollie. Seeing an opportunity to get out of alimony payments, Matt encourages her to marry the guy.

** Carol to an extent. She's manipulative and engaging in a May-December affair with her boss, but there's hints that her attraction to him is based on a sense of insecurity rather than status-seeking. Also, like Matt with Sean, Carol genuinely cares about Beverley and values her as a friend, even if she is a little too self involved to show it.
